Help me decide on an upgrade

[gary faulkner]

I currently have a 120.

I want something at least 24 in. front to back and at least 72 in. long and probably no deeper than 24 in.

I know that adds up to be a 180 but is that my best bet?
A 180 would require 1 more metal halide and about 60-80 lb of LR.

Wouldn't a 240 require 1 more light and about 120-150 lb of LR?

I think I have everything else including a place to put it.

Is there a site where I could compare dimensions?

TIA

Has different sized and dimensions listed.

A 240 is usually 96x24x24 so it would require two more MH lights. That would probably be your best bet if you only want a tank that is 24" deep, otherwise you'll have to go custom.

I second the 240

Thanks for the link.

There doesn't seem to be a 240 listed.

Any other links that you know of?

TIA

Now that sounds like what I am looking for.

How did you decide on these dimensions?
